This book was written by a Canadian infantry battle group commander about his experiences in Afghanistan in 2006. It is good on two levels. First, it is about soldiers at war, and it gives a good feel for the humanistic approach to war taken by the Canadian Army. Not the Canadian Forces, or Canada, or NATO, but the Canadian Army. Second, it is a good treatise on tactics to be used in a war where fighting is not desirable and killing the enemy is defeat as much as victory. I strongly recommend this book to military professionals. ( ) no reviews | add a review
" ... Insightful window on command and leadership in combat. This book is a very personal account of Lieutenant-Colonel Ian Hope's unit command of Task Force Orion in the volatile Kandahar Province of Afghanistan from February to August 2006 ... commanding combat troups in hostile and unforgiving terrain against relentless and ruthless Taliban insurgents."--Back cover.
